n Rear
speaker
height
(REAR
HEIGHT)*
Initial
setting
: LOW
This parameter
lets you specify
the height
of your
rear
speakers
for proper
implementation
of the Digital
Cinema
Sound surround
modes
in the "VIRTUAL"
sound
fields
Refer to the illustration
below
l
Select "LOW"
if the location
of your rear speakers
corresponds
to section
0
l
Select "HIGH"
if the location
of your
rear speakers
corresponds
to section
0
This setting
only effects the surround
modes
in the
"VIRTUAL"
sound
fields
* These parameters
are not available
when

About the rear speaker position
(SIDE, MIDDLE, and BEHIND)
This setting is designed specifically
for implementation
of the
Digital Cinema Sound modes in the "VIRTUAL"
sound fields
With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker position
is not as
critical as other modes
All of the modes in the "VIRTUAL."
sound fields were designed under the premise that the rear
speaker would be located behind the listening position,
but
presentation
remains fairly consistent
even with the rear speakers
positioned
at a rather wide angle However,
if the speakers
are
pointing
toward
the listener from the immediate
left and right of
the listening position,
the "VIRTUAL"
sound fields will not be
effective unless the rear speaker position parameter
is set to
"SIDE"
Nevertheless,
each listening environment
has many variables,
like wall reflections,
and you may obtain better results using
"BEHIND"
or "MIDDLE"
if your speakers
are located high above
the listening
position, even if they are to the immediate
left and
right
Therefore,
although it may result in a setting contrary
to the
"Rear speaker position"
explanation,
we recommend
that you
playback
multi channel surround
encoded software
and listen to
the effect each setting has on your listening environment
Choose
the setting that provides
a good sense of spaciousness
and that
best succeeds in forming
a cohesive space between the surround
sound from the rear speakers
and the sound of the front speakers
If you are not sure which sounds best, select "BEHIND"
and then
use the speaker distance parameter
and speaker level
adjustments
to obtain proper balance
n Sub woofer
selection
(SUB WOOFER)
Initial
setting
: YES
l
If you connect
a sub woofer,
select "YES"
l
If you do not connect
a sub woofer,
select "NO"
This
activates
the bass redirection
circuitry
and outputs
the
LFE signals
from other speakers
l
In order
to take full advantage
of the Dolby
Digital
(AC-3)
bass redirection
circuitry,
we recommend
setting
the sub woofer's
cut off frequency
as high as possible
